Freshwater Swimming Holes in Victoria

The first edition of the Guide to Freshwater Swimming Holes in Victoria was officially launched in 2004 by the then Deputy Premier of Victoria and Minister for Water,
John Thwaites, and is now in its fourth edition. The offline guide includes:

- A curated list of my top 50 swimming holes in Victoria, ranked from Number 1 to 50 across the State and in each region of Victoria

- For those swims from my top 50 that I have published online, the offline guide includes additional information for swimmers,
including conditions under your feet, minimum recommended swimming proficiency required, public facilities, and prohibitions including
whether you can bring your dog.

- Numerous swims from my top 50 that I have not published online, including my Number 1 and Number 2 ranked swims in Victoria,
and my Number 1 swim in the greater Melbourne area.

- An index of which swims in the top 50 are suitable for inexperienced swimmers, which spots you can take your dog for a swim,
and which swims have camping available at the swimming hole.

- A look back at swimming holes lost over the 15 years since I published the first edition, due to changes in regulations in our State and National Parks.

Every swimming hole that I have selected is unique and has its own story. Take it with you on your travels and enjoy
swimming through each page for years to come.
